New forum's been in place a while now... looks great! My one feedback is the size of our profile sidebars creates a lot of whitespace in the messages. The previous Patsfans forum beat everyone else hands-down in the content-to-space ratio... (some forums felt like 80% signature pics and 20% one-line replies per page). I hope this reply makes sense!

Hi Ian,
I posted a thread in the Draft Forum regarding a possible live draft discussion and based on some responses, I think it might be a popular exercise. A member mentioned an update coming and that it might be nice if it could be held here right on the site in the chatroom if it is working properly. I wanted to see if this would be possible to do here on the site. I was thinking a Sunday morning here in the States so that other members from other countries could participate on that Sunday evening. Please let me know if you think this is doable here on the site and if you are okay with something like this.
Thanks,
Mike

I just now noticed this message, so I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I'm working on a new chat function for this season that hopefully will be available in the next month or two. Just need some extra $$ to purchase the license to install it.

Hi Ian, a while ago there was a post on the website reddit about how reddit is losing money, and one of the ways to help out the site was to enable ads on there. I've been wondering, would it help PatsFans to generate some revenue by enabling ads on here? Because if it would, I can immediately enable ads on here.

Ian I have been a member since 2005. I seldom post but read daily. For some reason my recent posts seem to only be visible to me? Was I put in the penalty box for something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ian. Thanks for the report of the Negative MRI on Brady's knee. Great news. Hey, I still haven't been able to get that video link (VIDEO: Tom Brady Leg Injury :Ian's New England Patriots Blog)you posted to work; I'm sure it's getting hammered with viewing requests.

I found a YouTube link that is pretty reliable if you want to post it for the others to see: Tom Brady's Knee Injury During Practice Drill Against Buccaneers - YouTube

Hi Ian - This is now the second time that I have had to report Off The Grid. He has not stopped his harassment toward me so I want him banned. BTW - you are about to get an influx of trolls from the Jets and elsewhere because of Tebow. Thought you would want to know because ESPN is closing their Patriots forums on the 17th. It started today.

I've tried PMing you a couple times, one of the moderators has essentially banned me without giving me a single reason as to why. My posts are only visible to myself due to this "pseudo-ban". I feel like I should at least be told what is going on for having donated to the site. Least that you could do. Thanks.

Jeez I wish you guys would just eliminate that political thread and keep it all sports...ya know? There are so many other sites out there where politics could be talked..why drag it into a sports site...

Do you pick and choose what pms you read? I have sent over 20 emails to the contact us and pmed you twwice. I was wrongfully banned by Schmessy never got a infraction ever and he banned my account for making welker jokes. Deus can call admin names and not even get removed from the thread. Belichicknumber1 was my name go back and read i broke no rules and schmessy the mod that everyone complains about reason of banning me was "gone" really?????????? cmon man

Hi Ian,
Hoping you can help me. I keep getting messages saying my dues payment failed via Paypal. I had to get a new credit card because my prior account got hacked. But I paid with my new card last week. Can you help?
